Anyone used a fertility lube? Conceive plus

31 replies

BlueeSpottyTiger · 20/04/2017 08:38

I've just ordered some 'conceive plus'
I believe its pretty much the same as preseed!?
I mainly bought it because the start up of dtd can take a while to get going not using regular lube, which is really uncomfortable and kinda off putting... especially when it's on a daily basis 😣

Has anyone used either? Just looking for reviews really... any success stories?

I got pregnant on conceive plus, and not on preseed. Good luck!

It's not going to specifically get you pregnant but it will help sperm, whereas normal lube is bad for sperm.

Some of them come with applicators which makes the whole thing incredibly clinical so I'd just use it as a normal lube and make sure some of it gets quite far up you.

Oh fab! Grin & thankyou Smile Well.. i was thinking of using an old calpol syringe just to put some up 🙈 and then apply like usual x

We used it cos I'd read that normal lube is bad for sperm, as is saliva Sad

Got pregnant first month TTC both times Grin No idea if the lube helped but it certainly didn't hinder. Just used it on the outside.

Good luck

Oh wow! You must be super fertile hehe!
It took 3 cycles with dd.. no lube used atall but since having her i definitely need something. I read that about saliva last time so thats been a no go. Last cycle we used cool boiled water lol, this is cycle 3 now.
Thanks! X

Goodluck! 🍀🍀 I've been googling to see if it could hinder in anyway but nothing seems to suggest it does? I've read nothing but good things so far but wanted to ask myself on here x

Yes. I've been panicking it could cause a problem but looking at reviews, it seems pretty positive. Just got the two week wait now.. joy.

I used preseed after trying for a little while - first month we used it, BFP! No idea if it was coincidence or not but it was the only new thing we tried that month! FX!!

Aww brilliant.. i suppose you will never know but sounds hopeful. I'll try to remeber to update if i have any luck with it. It should arrive tomorrow.. fertile week starts monday xx

Conceive plus worked both times for us!
It's quite runny so I guess it helps the sperm to swim better!

Sazwest · 21/04/2017 23:39

I'm definitely gonna have to buy some if this @BlueeSpottyTiger x

MaryShelley1818 · 22/04/2017 08:18

Preseed worked for us...3 cycles of using it. The thing we'd tried new the first month we conceived was Wellman vitamins for DP though x

Both pregnancies I got pregnant after 5mths, and both times it was the first month we used conceive plus.

Wow! Now that is an insane coincidence if there was ever one.

Mine arrived today.. i was getting worried it wouldn't come intime for fertile week starting monday.. but might just start using it now for good measure Grin

Ive also started to use this. I will let you know in two weeks time if it worked. Confused Its a nice lube but super cold when I use it.

SummerHopin · 23/04/2017 22:07

We are ttc#1 and use preseed.
To those who used and it worked did you actually use the syringes or can you just apply as normal like other lubes?? Thanks

Good luck! I used conceive plus and got pregnant first try each time. No idea if it was down to that as didn't actually try without (I had assumed it would take awhile!). We avoided spit and any other lubes. I didn't bother with the applicator, seemed it would ruin the moment. Just used it like normal.

SummerHopin · 24/04/2017 10:03

algebraic thanks - thats what I thought! :)

Emmastone123 · 24/04/2017 10:57

Good luck ladies.

I got my BFN today :( feeling a bit down but only second month of trying. Just hate waiting for AF and then having to wait again to start and then having to wait to test... ugh.

Going to order some more concieve plus now!

emma if af hasn't arrived you might just be too early for bfp?how many dpo are you? X

Hey Bluee,

12 days. Pretty sure I'm out. Using the clear blue advanced fertility monitor and it prompted me to test. I also did a FRER on sat and it was a clear neg (although I know that could be too early)

:( good luck!!!!
